Design Meeting For Skate Park on Thursday

The design meeting for the proposed skate park at Cherokee Veterans Park will be held on Thursday.

The meeting will start at 6 p.m. March 5 in the cafeteria at Macedonia Elementary School. Residents who plan to attend are asked to enter at the baseball fields and park in the upper parking lot.

Cherokee Veterans Park would be constructed on about 149 acres along S.R. 20/Cumming Highway between Jack Page Lane and Water Tank Road. The park, which would be built in phases, will be funded from proceeds of the county’s $90 million parks bond, which was approved by voters in 2008.

The park, which would contain both passive and active elements, is slated to be a “community park” similar to Hobgood Park in Towne Lake, J.J. Biello Park in Woodstock, Cherokee Recreation and Parks Agency Director Bryan Reynolds previously told Patch.
